    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    I'm not super knowledgaeable about AC wiring, so be patient if I have some of this wrong. So, my power comes in off the street and goes through the meter. It then splits and goes through the two breakers (150A house and 200A shop). At that point, the 150A power goes in and travels to the...

    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    I would very much like to come up for lunch, it's been several years since I've seen ya'll. The issue I'm running into is the cost of modifying my house to run this thing. I have a 4-0 quadraplex line feeding power to the shop. Power enters the shop on the left side. I'm eventually going to...

    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    I am. Unfortunately, where this is going to live is only about 220' from a neighbor. It's a heavily wooded area that separates us, but it's still close enough that I want to do whatever I can to minimize any noise. I want to be a good neighbor and all that. I'm also aware of the rodent issue...

    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    Hey @DieselAddict , I'm going to send you a PM shortly. I'm interested. For the rest of you, I thought I'd share some pics. So far, I've done the following: Completely cleaned out the fuel system. All hoses, tubes, canisters, etc. I've soaked the canisters and gotten all the sludge out...

    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    Hey Ray I think I'd be interested in one of your tanks, if you don't mind looking at them. I know mine needs a bottom and frankly, I'm not sure I'm a skilled enough metal worker to do it. I am going to attempt it, but I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I'll get started on cutting trhe...

    GA M35A2 w/ dump conversion, winch, whistler, dual circuit, hardtop project. $6500.

    Bump. I realize this is an enormous project, but there's a ton of great stuff that goes with it. A3 bed, winch kit, whistler, 2 multifuels, 2 3053s, an NOS air shift transfer, NOS steering box, good hardtop, good cab, good sheetmetal, heaters, NOS doors, NOS windshields, NOS wiring, NOS spring...

    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    So, I had considered buying an aftermarket aluminum tank and adding the ports for the auxiliary take off and all that, and then I remembered: I have an ASK for my machine and if I put a different size fuel tank on it, the Accoustical Suppression kit may not work. So I'm bumping this ad. Green...

    MEP-003A fuel tank (WTB)

    So, I'm rebuilding an MEP-003A genset and an M116A2 trailer. I am in the process of going through the fuel system and am running into the typical issues. Lack of maintenance, corrosion, sludge, etc. I am soaking the filter canisters and components in CLR and getting good results. The tank...

    GA M35A2 w/ dump conversion, winch, whistler, dual circuit, hardtop project. $6500.

    Conclusion: I wanna' go over what's included here, for your $6,500: Good frame with properly built and functioning Deuce dump conversion, running on a 24V pump. This means you get a good dump conversion, 3 good axles and a bobber kit, just with the frame. (X2) Two good running multifuels...

    GA M35A2 w/ dump conversion, winch, whistler, dual circuit, hardtop project. $6500.

    Continued Brakes: project comes with the two major components necessary for a dual circuit conversion: the NOS pedal mount for the dual circuit master cylinder and an NOS dual circuit air tank (two chambers, unlike the single circuit air tank). Also includes two good used airpacks, 12 NOS brake...

    GA M35A2 w/ dump conversion, winch, whistler, dual circuit, hardtop project. $6500.

    I have decided to give up on my M35A2 dump truck project. Between age, health, monetary and time issues, getting it finished seems impossible at this point. So I’m going to let someone else have at it. I hate giving up on anything and I hate giving up on this. But I'm never going to be able...

    Trailer bows from Guymon, Oklahoma to somewhere within a couple hundred miles of Atlanta, Ga

    Hahaha. The longest road trip I've made is one to Charlotte from Athens and twice a group of us have left Athens, Ga and went to Tail of the Dragon in Tn. Both of those are about 200 miles one way. I have a couple more things I need todo before I can attempt a long distance road trip. I have...

    I need some CARC and general paint help (mix ratios, availability, etc.)

    So does anyone have any idea about the compatibility of the components I posted in post #1? I have a ton of small items that just came back from blasting and I'd like to try some of this ancient stuff out. See how it does. Hey Ray, thanks for responding. I've done paint work on and off for...

    Trailer bows from Guymon, Oklahoma to somewhere within a couple hundred miles of Atlanta, Ga

    So, I am restoring an M116A2 trailer that my MEP-003A is going to live on. An SS user in Guymon, Ok. has a set. These bows are one piece, so they're big. You can't take them apart like Deuce bows and ship 'em in a box. They'd need to ride on a truck or a trailer. I live in Athens, Ga. I'd be...

    I need some CARC and general paint help (mix ratios, availability, etc.)

    I have two trucks I need to paint. Both will be 383 / 34094 colored, maybe one will be 3-color camo, but it isn't likely. Gillespie/Rapco is great - it's cheap and it sprays easily but that's it. It's a cheap paint, with cheap materials and no catalyst. I've painted tons of stuff in various...

    The Southeast Military Vehicle Rally needs a new leader. Read within.

    Just to clarify: LLC: incorporation of event so the event has the legal liability, not you. Low Range Productions gets sued, not Clinto. This just covers who gets sued, not where the money comes from. Insurance policy: pays money out you don't have. The two aren't exclusive. You could have...

    The Southeast Military Vehicle Rally needs a new leader. Read within.

    All of this worked well. All true. My preference is Windrock, but it'll be up to the new person. WR is a far superior facility. Two things: A. Once one person posts one thing on social media, legally speaking, they're an organizer. Maybe they're not legally liable, but they'll have to...
